We’re excited to hear that Rodriguez will be given the Eco Maverick Award at the Opportunity Green conference this Thursday in Los Angeles, CA.

You might remember that earlier this year Michelle announced she’d be joining Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd on their next voyage to the Antarctic. What’s more, while on the ship, the actress agreed to follow a strict vegan diet.

Rodriguez explained, “I’m not (a vegetarian) but I will have to be because on the ship, it’s a vegan ship – you can’t be a hypocrite.”
